The Panthers had been staying at a hotel in the Bay Area after last week’s game against the Raiders and traveled to Seattle on Saturday. Before the team’s buses left for the airport, TMZ reports, “Rivera got off his bus, went to Cam's bus, and pulled Cam off” to speak.

“I feel I wore a similar outfit as this before and nothing was done, but [Rivera] says he has rules in place and we have to abide by them,” Newton told reporters Sunday night. “No person is greater than the next person and, you know, it is what it is.”
